You can also reinvest the dividends in another position and beat the accumulator if necessary :) For example, reinvest the dividends from the All World in Google and speculate that Google will perform better than the All World.

@SharkAce that is definitely an option! Over a long investment horizon, the strategy may well change in sub-areas, and then you have the freedom to invest elsewhere with the returns 👍

•@TomTurboInvest Absolutely, that's why I'm currently doing it that way :D The additional expense is manageable, because you don't have to put the dividend into a new share every time. You just reinvest it in shares that you already have in your portfolio and one of them will have a decent price at the moment (currently probably more than one position haha).

@SharkAce And then fly off the handle if things get even worse.

@Jonas9221 well what is called fly on the face. If you invest it not exactly in risk stocks, the loss should be manageable. Should Microsoft, Alphabet and co -50% in the period make the ETF will not be much better, because these companies are very highly weighted😂 clearly you can lose in the end against the ETF but so has at least the chance to beat him 🤷🏽♂️

•@SharkAce The probability of losing to him - especially if you want to stay in the market for more than 1-2 years - is extremely high...

@Jonas9221 in the long term, yes, but we are only talking about short periods of time (4 months), so that the dividend received and reinvested by the next payout generates more than it would have done with the ETF.

•@SharkAce It was precisely this approach that saved my performance in 2022. This was the only way I could leave the year with a plus.

•@SharkAce Ok. Sure - in the short term it can of course work!
